Vomerine teeth in two very small groups close to the inner front 

 edge of the choanal. Snout subtriangular ; canthus rostralis distinct; 

 loreal region slightly concave ; nostril nearer the tip of the snout 

 than the eye ; interorbital space a little broader than the upper 

 eyelid ; tympanum half the width of the eye. Fingers vorj' slightl)'', 

 toes nearly entirely webbed ; disks nearly as large as the tympanum ; 

 subarticular tubercles moderate ; a small inner metatarsal tubercle. 

 The hind limb beiug carried forwards along the body, the tibio- 

 tarsal articulation reaches between the eye and the tip of the snout. 

 Skin smooth, granular on the belly and under the thighs ; a fold 

 above the tympanum ; lower surface of forearm and tarsus tuber-

Vomerine teeth in two small groups between the choanfe. Snout 

 rounded ; canthus rostralis angular ; loreal region deeply concave ; 

 nostril much nearer the tip of the snout than the eye ; interorbital 

 space as broad as, or broader than, the upper eyelid ; tympanum 

 nearly half the width of the eye. Fingers slightly, toes nearly 

 entirely webbed ; disks about two thirds the diameter of the tympa-

 tubercle. The hind limb being carried forwards along the body, the 

 tibio-tarsal articulation reaches between the ej-e and the tip of the
